SEER Summary Staging Manual - 2000

Summary staging is the most basic way of categorizing how far a cancer has spread from its point of
origin. Summary staging has also been called General Staging, California Staging, and SEER Staging.
The 2000 version of Summary Stage applies to every anatomic site, including the lymphomas and leukemias.
Summary staging uses all information available in the medical record; in other words, it is a combination
of the most precise clinical and pathological documentation of the extent of disease.
